Every time I visit Johnson City, TN we get muffins (white chocolate raspberry and chocolate) and bagels (everything, poppyseed, onion). I grew up in upper New York and can honestly say these are authentic and delicious. They always have plenty of items to choose from regardless of the time of day. We will return again! read more

Good bagels, nice and fluffy like I like them. Full of cream cheese and toasted. Excellent service by attentive staff.

2 words - FREAKIN AWESOME! Family of 4 driving thru on vacation and needed a quick bite to go. 'Bagels near me' had few hits, mostly usual fast food joints but we like to support locals when we can. Mr. Wheeler was running the shop, with his dad holding pleasant chats with the customers as food was made. Super friendly, very clean, larger than average variety and great how-to by the owner on many of the specialties. Extra care and effort put into everything, even using frozen coffee ice cubes for the iced coffee so it doesn't get watered down. All the bagels were great, and each of us got a giant delicious muffin for later in the trip. A gem in the tri-city area, highly recommend! read more

Found another great place for hot lattes. They have a variety of flavorings to add (free) to either coffee, latte, or other drinks. Very nice. Huge selection of freshly made bagels. They even have my favorite flavor, French Toast bagel. Can not wait to come back and try their bagels. Only stopped in for a hot latte on the way to work on a Friday morning. Walk up to the counter and place your order. Friendly cashier walked me through their coffee menu and took my order. Take a look at their beverage station with all the syrups for your use. There's few tables in the dining area to sit and enjoy your food and caffeine of choice. read more

The second I walked in the door the owner made me feel welcomed. The bagels are fantastic and made right there with quality ingredients. It is an easy to access location with plenty of seating inside and out. Highly recommended. read more

The bagels are very good, they could pass for a NY bagel. The egg sandwiches are a little different. They don't use the same sausage as we do in NY and they put scrambled eggs on it if you don't say fried. I'll try a bacon egg and cheese next time. read more

Stood for ten minutes with a gal at register petting her hair. Three others walked by no one said a word. Terrible customer service! Walked out. Not returning read more

Jersey boy lifetime bagel connoisseur: Wheeler's bagels are the only real option. Bagels are v. good to excellent. Very good service. Had an issue 1x out of 100x. They are great about customer satisfaction-which I really respect. Clean, fast, friendly. Grade `A' from Jersey Boy. read more

So so good, big enough it could've been shared. Will definitely be getting it again. Everyone was nice and helpful! read more

Over the course of the last two years the bagels have gone downhill. When we first moved here we were excited because it was close by and the breakfast sandwich's we had there were really good. When we started getting bagels they were really great but over the last 18 months their bagels have become inconsistently poor. Too fat, not cooked well etc. the muffins are amazing and those have always stayed delish!! read more

Love the bagels, muffins and service but the fountain drink machine has never provided a drink that is fit for consumption. Every time we go in she has to go back and grab a bottled drink. Today it spit out some kind of nasty gunk. read more

Great find for bagels in this city! Bagels are made fresh and are of generous serving. As it was a Sunday morning, the shop was well staffed and fulfilled orders quickly accommodating the amount of customers there. During my visit, I ordered SAC sandwich, a bagel with plain CC and a bagel with veggie CC. However, when I returned to my family with our breakfast, the bagel that was label "plain cc" was actually the veggie (although, by the looks of it, no one could tell the difference) after tasting it. The unlabeled bagel looked like plain cc but it still had the flavor of veggie. Because one family member is picky about wanting the flavor of only plain CC, we wasted a perfectly good bagel. I would hope that utensils for the variety of spreads are not being cross-contaminated; that would be unfortunate for those who have sensitivity to flavor. read more

Excellent food, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff make this restaurant one of my go-to eateries in Johnson City! Highly recommended!

I doubt you'll find a better bagel for miles. It's no NY or NJ bagel, but for an early morning road trip stop, it more than did the job. My ham, egg, and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel lasted me a solid 3 hours - it was solidly packed and tasted good. Half was eaten while pulling away, half was eaten later on in the drive. There were plenty of other bagel choices, and the dark roast coffee gave me the jolt I needed for the next 11 hours of driving. For what it's worth, the guy at the counter wasn't wearing a mask, though everyone else I could see was. We were here in March, and were vaccinated at that point, so whatever...but the other reviewers are probably right. Kind of a moot point at the moment, but notable nonetheless. read more

1. Food: Coffee and bagels (alone) are delicious. Breakfast sandwiches: not so much. Very dry, microwaved eggs, which don't do the bagels justice. The hash browns were also dry and undercooked, but with small charred spots. Not sure how they pulled that off. 2. Service: One of the food preparers called my hubby a smart ass. That alone would be fine if she had done it where we couldn't hear her. The owner "apologized" by saying noise travels very easily from behind the counter to dining area. So odd. read more

Moving from NY I wasn't expecting much for bagels but Wheeler's was great! Fast, fresh and very clean!

Wonderful everything bagel and iced coffee. Also enjoy the breakfast bagel sandwich with egg cheese and sausage

I absolutely love their bagels. They will give you a little too much cream cheese but I would definitely prefer that over not enough. The strawberry bagels are absolutely amazing. I always feel the bagel i'm receiving tastes the same and i'm just as satisfied as usual. The store isn't commonly swept or wiped down. I'd recommend getting the food to go or just eating outside. Everytime I come in the first thing I notice is the mess on the floor. But if you can ignore that the food is worth it! read more

This place deserves more then 5 stars for the owner alone. The kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back..we talked about random things the whole time I was waiting for my food. Made sure to tell me I'm the customer and they will make whatever I want..great experience. I had a lox bagel. A good amount of each ingredient to balance the flavors. The egg and cheese sandwiches were good according to the rest of the family. Definitely recommend read more

Located in a strip mall behind Fudrucker's, it's easy to find. You need to turn at the light, then into the parking lot. There is handicapped parking in front of the adjacent store. The rest of the spaces are either across a traffic lane, or you will need to go up some stairs to get to the door. The ordering counter is at the rear of the seating area, with the menu on a board behind the counter. There is a good variety of cold and hot sandwiches, as well as breakfast choices. The descriptions are good so you know what you're getting. Seating is a combination of tables and smaller tall tables. The Reuben (I chose the everything bagel) was really good. The bagel is soft but holds together for the entire time it takes to eat. The meat, cheese, and sauerkraut is abundant. The Thousand Island dressing comes on the side. That's probably because it would ooze all over the place while eating. Little touches like this make for a better dining experience. The salmon and cream cheese on a sesame bagel was also very good. The bagel was soft and fresh. The salmon was plentiful. Wheeler's shows what good bagels taste like, and sets the standard for the area. read more

The iced coffee's ice cubes are made from coffee! The bagels are crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside! The lox comes with capers by default! The service is friendly and fast! Go now! read more

My first place I stopped at since recently moving here. What a cool place to sit and relax. The employees are very polite & professional. Did I mention how amazing the bagels& muffins are. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because my iced coffee isn't consistent in taste. But the coffee ice cubes are definitely a plus! read more

He makes all his bagels from scratch with wholesome ingredients and you can tell. So good. Sad we live in Indiana so I can't get them on the regular read more

Great great bagels. I had a bagel with lox with all the trimmings and my husband had blue berry bagels. The coffee was good and the staff was very friendly. The owner was there in a tie dye shirt talking to customers. He seemed very well liked. Totally recommend this place! The food was fresh. My latte was good as well as my husband's iced tea. read more

Finally a good bagel shop, we've looked all over North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee for a decent bagel shop. You won't be disappointed!

When the owner and cashier aren't wearing masks during a global pandemic...yeah... We would like to support local businesses but I bet the cashiers at Panera are taking this seriously. Oh, the bagel wasn't very good either. Edit to reflect owners comment ***Maybe it was your son, I could always stop by and upload a photo of the front cashiers not wearing a mask*** read more

The bagel here are great. Get here early for best selection. The frappes are not so good, icy and lacking flavor. In their defense we asked for thick and the girl may have interpreted it as add more ice? Needless to say the Frappes are not the main event. read more

Met a friend for brunch. Was disappointed I couldn't get a skim milk latte so settled for regular latte. But the egg & cheese on the Asiago bagel was superb. Fluffy eggs...so much I could hardly get it in my mouth. Definitely will return. read more

Pretty delicious bagel! Got the asiago with chicken, egg, Swiss, mushroom and spinach. Was very filling and hearty on a cold winter morning. The iced Jamaican coffee was amazing, and they have a whole array of serve-it-yourself flavored syrups Only thing that wasn't terribly impressive was the hash browns. They were small cakes that look like they were frozen and cooked (not bad by any means, but not great; maybe a little salt or melted cheese). Otherwise, great bagel and great service and terrific coffee. Certainly worth a visit if in the area. read more

Amazing bagels and super quick and friendly service. This is the best bagel place in the area for sure

Best bagel sandwich I've had in the world! While I wish they offered a turkey meat alternative, the bagel was soft and tasty, the eggs were warm and fresh, and the cheese melted in my mouth. The customer service made me feel like a regular, even though I was just visiting. I ordered some bagels to take home with me and look forward to visiting the area again. read more

Love this place! They always treat you like family and everything is delicious. It's not expensive either.

It's unfortunate that it's been a while since my visit here, as I took a few good pics but can't seem to find those photos now. Our first visit was exceptional. Staff was super friendly and eager to help us newbies out. I lived in upstate NY for roughly 16 years. During my time there, I have eaten so many bagels done 100 different ways I can't even imagine to count the varieties I've had. This little place brought back lots of memories... very well done selections, bagels done totally right!!! Bagels aren't something I crave anymore... since as I've hinted earlier in my review.... I've had lots of them and quite frankly I am bagel-ed out. With that being said, Wheelers wholeheartedly is deserving of my 5 stars. Super clean space, awesome service, and bagels and baked goods done right without extra care that either would have make or break a classic creation. read more

If this was NYC they would be out of business. I asked for a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon (nova scotia). I got a soft heated bagel... cream cheese nova and sliced tomato and onion. Worst, half of the order was the correct bagel. The other half was a different bagel. I sent it back The excuse was the bagels were just made so they could hot be toasted. First you dont sell bagels thatcantbe toasted and you don't mix and match. Next do not add on items you DC ont ask gor read more

Love Wheeler's! Their bagels are fantastic as is the customer service! They are reasonably priced, friendly, and quick.

This is one of the best bagel place in town! Owner is so courteous and attentive. Fast service, homie feel. You can choose your bagel, schmear and filling that gives you hundreds of combinations to choose. I wish they had grilled jalapeño to put in your sandwich as I put it on anything and everything ‍ read more

We went out of our way to support local during this pandemic but the cashiers and owner were not wearing masks. This is really disappointing because the food is good. We won't be back. read more

I really wants to give 5 stars. I have been here many times. The bagel is super good. The only problem is you need to order from the counter, my last 2 visit, it is very slow because she dont't know how to split payment, add few things on my orders. I hope the owner train the cashiers very well about the system and the menu. Well, it is bagel not difficult menu, you just need to get right person to taking the orders. I got pumpkin cheese bagel, chicken salad on everything bagel, cookies, coffee, ham and egg bagel... ahhh everything is so good :) read more

I normally wouldn't stop at a bagel place, but my husband picked up breakfast here one day and the food was exceptional. We went again the next week. This is not your typical chain bagel place. They use clean ingredients in their food and it shows. Also, the coffee was really good which I did not expect. This place really surprised me! read more
